How individual decision making works

Individual decision making

Individual cabinet members are able to take decisions on areas that fall within their responsibility, in much the same way that decisions are taken by the cabinet as a whole.

How decisions are published

Under council's constitution, all key decisions taken by individual cabinet members are listed on the forward plan. The council publishes key decisions on the website five working days before the individual Cabinet member can consider the decision (publishing period). This includes details of the decisions, their status and copies of any relevant reports.
